Etiquette and sartorial experts have insisted that tuxedo is less correct than dinner jacket, but the first written reference to tuxedo predates (circa 1889) dinner jacket by two years (circa 1891).
In French, Italian, Portuguese, German, Spanish, Polish, Russian and also other European languages, the jacket is called a smoking. In French the shawl-collared version is le smoking Deauville, while the peaked-lapel version is le smokin sentirent. No matter the name, I enjoy a beautiful tux on a women, especially without anything underneath.
